Economy, Opportunity and Impact You Can Make

Let’s understand this:

Wealth comes through productivity.

Competitively Edged Productivity comes through innovation.

Innovation comes from investment in talent, curiosity and resilience.

But…

When wealth is struggling, it’s strange that we are:

reducing the investment on talent,

complaining and cost-cutting instead of being curious,

reacting and over-exaggerating instead of demonstrating resilience.

We somehow get defensive.

But I think the opportunity ahead is immense. It may not be perfect picture… but something is surely out there.

Mass market is being replaced by micro-markets.

Buyers are finding sellers.

Manufacturing is being reimagined.

Information is creating more value than commodity products.

Going big is possible with fewer employees — and that too with more noise and impact.

Individuals are more in charge of their destiny than ever before.

Specialization is fading in front of experimentation.

Right in front of us, a different economy with new players and different value is being created.

But — it also brings pain and volatility… and uncertainty… and risk

Having said that — the times as so unique because opportunity is literally for everyone. Everyone who shows up and dares to be generous, creative and vulnerable.

But — there is no map. No one way of doing it right. We grew up in times when repetition, practice and experience were the tools of trade. Not anymore. It’s the time for art and novelty — and art and novelty can never be reliable.

Trust me. There is a spot for you in future. You just need to take the step to make a difference. Alternate is to get frustrated.

I leave it to you!
